I am working on a green topic for datacenters and homelab.
the question is when we speak about environmental effect, reusing second hand older hardware that might use a bit more energy or newly produced devices that follow all new standards and ofc using less energy?
which one is a better solution from ecological perspective in your expert opinion?

on the hardware side of the story.
Dont Forget to update all your firmware's and Bios for possible vital penetrations.
